Check $MARIADB_HOME/my.cnf in addition to $MYSQL_HOME/my.cnf

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      This task is similar to CONC-449, but this task is for the server itself, and not for MariaDB Connector/C.

      Currently, if the $MYSQL_HOME environment variable is set, then MariaDB reads the $MYSQL_HOME/my.cnf configuration file, if it exists:

      https://github.com/MariaDB/server/blob/mariadb-10.4.11/mysys/my_default.c#L1206

      https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/configuring-mariadb-with-option-files/#default-option-file-locations-on-linux-unix-mac

      To further MariaDB's branding, I think MariaDB should similarly check $MARIADB_HOME/my.cnf, if the $MARIADB_HOME environment variable is set.

      UPDATE:

      The approach should be to only use MARIADB_HOME if set. MYSQL_HOME should only be used if MARIADB_HOME is not set. See also the similar change CONC-537
